The PHP Foundation operates with a structured governance model designed to ensure transparency, accountability, and effective stewardship of resources dedicated to the PHP language.
10
+
11
+
Our governance structure consists of four key entities:
12
+
13
+
***Board of Directors** – Provides strategic oversight, sets the Foundation's goals, and makes final decisions on major matters. The Board consists of 5-10 members representing platinum sponsors, other sponsors, and community representatives.
14
+
***Executive Director** – Manages day-to-day operations, implements the approved strategy, and serves as the bridge between the Board and staff.
15
+
***Advisory Board** – Provides high-value input and strategic foresight from major sponsors (Silver tier and above), founding companies, and community leaders.
16
+
***Developers (Staff)** – Execute technical work, maintain the PHP codebase, and support community needs.
17
+
18
+
The Board of Directors meets monthly and makes decisions by consensus when possible, moving to formal votes when needed. All board members and staff are expected to abide by the [Code of Conduct](/code-of-conduct).
19
+
20
+
To promote transparency, we operate as a [collective on the Open Collective platform](https://opencollective.com/phpfoundation), through which we manage activities such as selection and financing of PHP core developers. The Foundation operates through Open Source Collective as its fiscal host.
